I mean what scenarios does Daggerfall have, because its FAQ does not describe
it at all.

Oh come on, all the Bethesda rep has been doing is answering questions! The
answers have been short and to the point, so I can't see this as "hyping".
I would rather they gave us more info, but I suspect they are tight lipped
to avoid the appearance of hyping.

Hi guys,
One of my friends got to go to E3. I sent him to the Bethesda
booth and had him pump the rep for all the info about Daggerfall he
could get. The rep told him that there was a lot of work and that
they were understaffed (hence the delays). The "rep" was actually
supposedly the Head Programmer for Daggerfall and had been doing
shouldering the programming burden for the entire project lately. He
showed my friend the machine they had running the current external
beta (external beta 2) of Daggerfall and demonstrated some features of
the game. He personally apologized for the demo, saying "It was crap.
I knew it was crap, but they made me do it. Don't take the demo as
any evidence of what the final product will be like." My friend, who
I had been praising the virtues of Daggerfall to, was nonetheless
impressed (ie the expectations I gave him about this "super RPG" were
met or exceeded by the game itself. He was one of those people who
bought the store demo and was EXTREMELY pissed off and disappointed.
But the real deal at E3 completely satisfied him--in his words, "It
was awesome".)
As for the release date, he noted to my friend that the game was
"finished" but that they were still trying to root out the bugs, a few
of which he demonstrated to my friend (problems with the 3d engine
here and there, stuff occasionally getting stuck in walls, etc...).
The release date: The programmer said, "Well, it BETTER be out in
August." I.e. if Bethesda doesn't get the game released by AT LEAST
August, it will be considered a major catastrophe.
Check out the new screenshots.
Peace,
